The reason we discuss things is because we're not sure what to do. It doesn't work when someone goes by themslelf.

This time, Yankee did a pretty good job of things, but it really would be helpful if he could give us some warning. So, if your reading this man, I'm not mad or anything, just... It's a little inconvenient for us, so could ya give us a heads up next time, please?

Normal people are the easiest to manipulate. Too smart and they have an annoying tendency to catch wind of your plans, too dumb and, in the words of a certain pirate, "You can never tell when they are about to do something incredibly...stupid."

I've had an idea that I couldn't help implementing. I advised her to make BB express himself through something, and one of the alternatives I suggested was a blog. Because, you know, that's how we communicate with them, amirite? It would be awesome if she played along.

It would be awesome. I'm not sure if she would go for it since she may not trust im to be stable enough not to give stuff away you really shouldn't when you're being psychologically analysed, but it would certainly be worth asking.

They sometimes say, "the place where I am right now was circled on a map for me"... Unfortunately, I kind of suck at orienteering.

Seconded.

I approve. Go, Dryu, use the power of manipulation...

I suddenly got the feeling that you should've used the royal we for that comment...

Do I see the Sicon is Mr. A theory returning?

Hey Sicon, is Mister A Your Shadow Archetype?

If he WAS, do you seriously think I would tell you?

Probably not, but DAMN it would make for a fun plot twist at the end... heck maybe SEVERAL of the people here are his aids/children/whatever from the void? I never see 90 odd people operating here at the same time and there are many lurkers...

With her next update (I didn't even read it properly, just some stuff about the character we've already identified) I can say that she has probably ignored my comment. And with her tweet about those "creepy voicemails", I think her plotline is about to have some other developments. But that should be saved for a different thread.

Which to me says we need to protect that Therapist... somehow. She's his possible route to recovery, the last chance he and all his potential victims in THIS world might have (and likewise, a way WE can have a character on our hands who is a little less deadly than he previously seemed).
